“He’s little but he’s robust and he picks himself up. He’s very difficult. It’s very difficult to get near him when he’s on form like he is and when he’s on form he’s great to watch.

“I think he has a pressure on his shoulders to deliver and produce a high calibre performance because he’s in that bracket where he’s a special player, not just in the Premier League but in world football and in Europe and the Champions League.

“Everyone is aware of his ability and want to see him perform so a lot of the time he does.

Chelsea have won four consecutive Premier League matches

“When he’s on that sort of form it’s beneficial but I must stress the team all around the pitch was collectively very good.”

Hazard missed the start of the season through injury but has been in stunning form since his return, scoring five goals so far.

The 26-year-old’s goals have helped Chelsea to four consecutive Premier League wins, leaving them third in the table.

They take on Qarabag this week in the Champions League before travelling to fifth-placed Liverpool on Saturday.
